MiGuide aims to help people with type 2 diabetes get a better lifestyle so that they can take control of their health and ultimately reduce the need for medication. Together with its partners, the company developed the MiGuide app for patients and the MiGuide care portal for general practitioners and practice nurses. Aside from diabetes, MiGuide also wants to contribute to the prevention of complications arising from an unhealthy lifestyle. That is why it also offers the CooL program, which stands for Coaching on Lifestyle and is a combined lifestyle intervention (GLI). Adults who are overweight and at an increased risk of complications or who are seriously overweight can participate in this program free of charge if they are referred by their general practitioner. The CooL program is offered in a hybrid form, with the addition of the MiGuide app to increase its effectiveness.
